Connect hp laptop to toshiba led tv using vga and audio jack

I have a HPG56 laptop (no hdmi slot) and a Toshiba 46TL965B tv. I want to connect them so that I can watch the laptop on the TV. I attached a VGA cable so I can now see the picture but I don't have sound. I have bought a 3.5mm male to male audio jack and plugged one end into the headphone slot on my TV and the other end to the headphone slot on my laptop but there is no sound coming out. Can anybody help me with this please?

Is there a HMDI output on your Laptop or a VGA output. Some TV's have a DSUB input source that allows VGA depends on your laptop it could be HDMI if so TV should have an extraz HDMI input on the back and you change the source input on the TV to the HDMI 2 or HDMI 3 source depending on where you plugged in the P.C. . If HDMI you need to buy a HDMI cable.

Make sure all connections Power ,HDMI and any other connecting leads have secure dust free connections also check each lead for any kinks / bends .
Connecting a Toshiba Satellite Laptop to a TV is an ideal
way to enjoy videos, photos and other media on the laptop on a much larger
screen.
Satellite Laptops can be connected to TVs using VGA, S-Video
and even HDMI, though the TV has to have compatible inputs as well.

Connect the RGB cable or S-video cable to an open input on the TV.
Depending on the type of TV, it may or may not have a RGB
input.
S-video may have to be used instead.
Connect the 1/4 inch to RCA Y-cable into the TV using the
same input as the VGA or S-video cable.
Connect the other end of the VGA or S-video cable and the
audio cable into the laptop.
The video ports are on the sides of the laptop.
The audio cable should go into the headphone jack of the
laptop.

I'm confused, are you trying to use a VGA cable for both video and audio? VGA cables don't have sound built into them, nor do DVI. If you had an HDMI plug on your laptop it would be best to go with that since HDMI contains video and audio.

You could just use an Aux cable from laptop to TV. Pretty much it would be a aux to analog type. It's like a speaker plugin, that side is for your computer. Then the other side coming out would be an analog red/white or left/right cable.

Another one, if your TV supports pure aux cable (it's a 3.5MM jack that speakers plug into) Like, my tv has a built in aux port for audio for my computer. So I just use pretty much a standard cable to cable setup.

If you have HDMI out on your laptop, it should send the sound and picture to your TV (make sure appropriate drivers are installed).

If you only have VGA out, then it will not send sound. Tthe only other option is if your TV has Audio IN (either 3.5mm headphone jack, or RCA Left/Right), then you could connect the headphone jack of your laptop to the TV that way.

Use Google or Bing and search for an HDMI to VGA with audio adapter. Be careful not to mistake the VGA with audio to HDMI adapter. They are not the same device and some internet locations have very limited descriptions and can be confusing.

The HDMI on your laptop is for video and not for sound meaning you only get video and no sound.

Your laptop however has a sound card built in and has a output jack after witch you can purchase a 3mm jack to RCA converter and then plug it into the TV that way. But I do not see the sense in having sound from the computer come out of the TV speakers.

It would be allot better if you had a receiver, or some amplified speakers.

You case is simple the PC will not pass audio to the TV in that form factor.

If you are using a LCD/TFT tv it will have HDMI and VGA inputs.
You only need a simple vga lead but this only transfers video not sound.
You can get a usb to hdmi lead, you can also plug in audio leads from your headphone socket and this will transfer video and audio.
